Nicole Richie's Tattoo Ban

Nicole Richie doesn't want her two children with tattooed rocker Joel Madden to follow in his footsteps - she's banning their kids from getting inked until they're 18.

The socialite and former reality TV star has small tattoos of her own while the Good Charlotte rocker's arms are fully inked.

And Richie admits she would be "heartbroken" if little Harlow, two, and Sparrow, five months, decided to take after their dad and tattoo themselves all over when they grow up - so she's set a strict age limit for the pair.

She says, "To be honest, I would be heartbroken, but what can I say? I would say wait until you're 18, that's what I would say."
